Maple Street Music Agency presents Jalan Crossland with Derek Blake on March 3. It’s been a good minute since being in Fort Collins for Jalan, as he’s been busy dominating the Rocky Mountain and Black Hill regions and living up to his reputation as an “endemic Wyoming treasure” (Rita Basom- Wyoming Arts Council). Jalan is widely acclaimed by audiences, critics, and his musical peers as being a premier acoustic guitarist, […]

Worthington Photo By: Rachel Neville You won’t find another dance performance that begins with the music of Bach, ends with Metallica, and highlights David Bowie and Odetta songs in the middle — unless you’re fortunate enough to see Complexions at the Fort Collins Lincoln Center this March.
